A novel edge-marking method in pleural covering with video-assisted thoracic surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Total pleural covering is implemented to reinforce the visceral pleura with surgical sheets. It has been adopted for diffuse cystic lung diseases such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis to prevent pneumothorax and has achieved good results. The procedure is technically demanding, because it is difficult to cover the entire visceral pleura without disarrangement and jamming of surgical sheets, especially during thoracoscopic surgery, where grasping of a wrong site might happen when unfolding the sheets. Herein, we report a technique to cover the entire pleura with dotted line folded sheets to ease the thoracoscopic procedure. We found that the use of this marking method made the procedure easier, with just a little ingenuity, because marking the edges of sheets with dashed lines clarifies the site that should be grasped, thus preventing the incidence of grasping the wrong part of the sheet. Pleural covering with dotted line folded surgical sheets is a useful method for reduced port thoracoscopic surgery.
